Extravaganza in College.

The very parents who speak so bit
terly of the encouragement given to
young mems extravaganza by the
modern college life have carefully
trained their sons for just the life which
they have found. Usually men in
moderate circumstances, they have
never compelled their sons to earn q
dollar in their lives, or to know the
cost or value of money, or to deny them
selves anything within their reach, or
to do anything except spend money
when favorable opportunity offered.
The sons, passing for the first time be-
yond the fathers eye, and able to plead
circumstances which parents cannot
deny from personal knowledge, are in q
fair position to deplete the paternal
pocket-book, and have never been
trained to refrain from improving such
an opportunity. 1t is not for his own
selfish qualification that the son joins
this or that college society, or takes all
the college papers, or "goes with the
nine" to watch an intercollegiate game
in another college town, or does any of
the other things for which his father
has to pay,-not at all; it is only
because he would lie ostracized in
college if he refrained from
such indulgence. Such are the
statements which accompany the peri
odical petitions for checks; and the
father, finding it easier to curse college
extravaganza than to take the trouble
of ascertaiuing the true state of the
case, continues his mistraining OF the
boy by paying his bills until, at the end
of the college course, the son is turned
loose upon the world, to find at last
what dollar really means. The Cen

Who He Was and Incidents Leading to
tho Assassination.
Rev. George c. Haddock, the murdered
minister, was pastor of tho Methodist church
at Sioux City, Iowa, having formerly resided
in Wisconsin, but more recently at Ft Dodge,
Iowa. He was man of wonderful physical
development, as well IS mental, astaunch pro-
hibitionisr, firm in his principles and sg-
gressive in both utterance and action. These
latter facts had brought him into personal en-

each instance his superior strength and
athletic training had carried him safely

them, were running in open defiance of law.
This was as obnoxious to Rev. Haddock as

Haddock took active and personal meas

against the saloons, and expensive litigation

bio mutterings OF dissent finally grew louder
and more determined and bitter, as tho ga
loon people realized the dark and lowering
cloud that threatened to burst with disastrous
effect over their heads AZ any moment. Rev
Haddock became more bold and persistent as
success attended his efforts. That crisis
was approaching the thoughtful realized, and
caution and less pronounced effort was ad-
visod to no effect Injuncti ms were sued for
